in full lines, in an adjustment in which the link has its reatest effective length, an alternative adjustment being shown by dot and dash lines that `permits, the effectivelength ofthelink to be shortened; Fig. 5is a sectionall View on line -5-5 of Fig. 2;l Fig. 6 is a sectional view'on line 6-6 of Fig. 2;

My invention relates to Windows and particularly to those windows employing swinging sashes.r A sliding sash is also desirably employed in the preferredembodib ment of the invention.

The invention has for its general object the provision of improved mechanism for l imparting swinging movementto the sashes. and Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the link When the invention is embodied in a winan'lthe .parts in cooperating relation theredow that 'also employs a sliding sash, a link to so connects the two sashes that themovement imparted to one sash occasions movement of the other sash. Means are desirably employed for holding the sliding sash in various adjustments, such means operating through this sash to hold the second sash in adjustment. Such means desirably comprises an elongated member having notches orv other holding formations spaced apart along the same and a second member in the form of a holding dog engageable with said holding formations, one of said The sliding window sash 1 'and the swinging window sash 2 may be suitably mounted within the window opening 3. which is formed in the lwall 4 ,or other part that is to be provided with the window. In the embodiment of the invention illustrated, I have shown a window frame in which `the sashes are mounted', this Window frame being desirably formed of channel iron 5 at its top side and angle iron 6 u on its re- 75 maining sides. A rib 7 prefera ly formed of channel iron, 1s located upon the upright a front view formations being stationarily arranged upon the window frame and the 'other being provided upon fthe sliding sash. The angular relation of the swinging sashfor any given position of the sliding sash is-adjustable by changing said link. 'is desirably adjustable by means of spaced apart notches therein which are adapted to receive a holding portion provided upon the sliding sash. Means are provided for holding the lswinging link in Iclose proximity ,to

the edective length of the aforethe sliding sash in all positions of this sashso that it mayfnot accidentally fall at the end thereof which cooperates directly with the sliding sash to occasion bodily harm.

I will explain my 'invention morefully by reference to the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1` is a sectional elevation on line 1-1 9f Fig. 2, theV swinging window beingshown in closed adjustment; Fig. 2 is containing the window, parts being broken away and other parts being tion; Fig. 3 is a View showing the window fra-me. in section and part-s within the yframe in section and in elevation, s'me portionsl being broken4 away,

the swinging window being. shown 'in open adjustment; Fig. 4 is a detailed view of the device employed `for holding the .end ofthe link that directly cooperan-isl with the sliding 'sash in proximity to this sash,'this device being shown,

The effective .length of the link from the interior of a room.

. shown in s ecand bottom sides ofthe window frame. The sliding window. sash 1 has its frame 8 desirably formed of channel iron, the upri ht and bottom sides of this frame receiving the rib 7 the vertical portions of this rib guidingthe sash 1 with its vertical sliding movement. The vswinging window sash 2 has its frame 9 preferably formed 'of angle iron. The top side of this frame 9 carries trunnion'shafts 10 which are journaled within the upper ends of the upright Side portions of the rib 7 and also, desirably, in the upper ends of the upright sides of the window frame itself.

A link 11 is'connected at its outer end 'F with the lower side of the frame 9 of the sash2midway between the ends Swingin of this rame side. v I-have shown an ear 12 hpon the frame 9 through which a pintle 13 is passed, this pintle also .passing through the outer end of said link. The inner end of the linkhas a downwardly delected continuation 14 which is receivable between the 100 ears 15 that are provided 4upon the frame 8 of thesliding sash at fthe'top voi? this sash and midway betweenl the upri ht sides' of this sash. 4A U-shaped assern ling device 16`has'a long movable throu" h holes provided 1n the `bottom ends lof tA e ears 15' anda Short side receivable in" holes provided at the upper .ends ofthese ears and also receivable in an opening 17 side which is horizontally 10i formed through the deflected 11o vend portion 14 ofthe link. The assembling device 16- is thus adjustable to either assemble the inner end of the link 11 with the sliding sash or to free the inner end of said link from direct assembly with the sliding sash. When the inner end of the link is directly assembled with the sliding sash, theA link is of greatest effective length and the swinging sash is swung to its outermost position for any given position of the sliding sash, the extent to which the swinging sash projects outwardly and the degree of its slope depending upon the vertical position of the sliding sash.

The link 1l desirably has holding formations, preferably in the form of. notches 18, which are distributed along the link and each of which is capable of individually receiving one of the walls of the channel iron portion that forms the top side of the frame 8 of the sliding sash. These notches enable the effective length of the link to be reduced so that the angularity of the swinging sash and the extent to which it pro'ects outwardly is lessened for any given posltion of theV slidin sash. An upright guard 19, preferably 1n the form of a U- shaped loop that is journaled upon the bottom side of the U-shaped assembling device 16 embraces the link 11 in a manner to hold the deflected link end .portion 14 in lapping relation to the top side of the frame 8 so that the link can not be moved, at its inner end, clear of the sliding sash, said guard 19 alsoV holding the inner end of the link in proximity to the upper end of the sliding sash so that the link can never be swung clear of the upper end of this sash to such an extent that 1t would do bodily harm if it were to fall from its elevated position.

The means for holding the guard 19 in its upright position desirably resides in lugs 20 which project outwardly Afrom the ears 15 and which are so positioned as to confine the guardclosely against the top side of the frame 8. The sliding sash is desiraybly. `held in various positions to which it may be adjusted by means of the cooperating holding members. One of these holding members is desirably in the form of a weighted dog 21 pivoted upon the ear 22 which is carried by an u right side of the sliding sash frame 8. X second holding member which cooperates with the holding "dog 21 desirably comprises an upright side portion of the rib 7 which is formed with notches or other. holding formations 23 spaced apart along the same. The sliding window sash should be raised to a position in which the dog 21 will be receivable in some notch23, the weight 24 upon the do then causingthe dog to extend into sup notch. g

Changes may be made without departing from the invention. v
